She, like many other closed minded individuals, believe marriage should only be between men and women. She also feels that MLK Jr. would have also been against it stating her father "did not take a bullet for same-sex marriage.”. It's funny that she feels this way because if you think about it he also didn't take the bullet for only "straight" people; Dr. King took a bullet for equality for everybody, whether they were black, white, gay, or straight. He was not one to discriminate.
Even though Bernice King is against same-sex marriage she doesn't want the LGBT community to think she is the enemy because she feels that she isn't. In the magazine she stated:
"People have labeled me homophobic. If I was homophobic, I wouldn't have friends who are gay and lesbian, so that can't be true,". If in fact this is true then maybe she should re-examine her role as a "friend". How could you have friends that are gay and lesbian but don't think they should be treated equally and have the same rights as you? She also states that she "have love for everybody, period.", well I'm not seeing the love, period.
